This week on Creative Thinking, we’re in The Places of Advent, beginning with the story of Jesus’ birth in Luke 2, and now Isaiah’s prophecy of hope in the wilderness.

In this episode, we move to the wilderness — a place of preparation, honesty, and transformation. A space where God shapes His people and whispers His promises.  We’ll reflect on how these sacred places still speak today, inviting us to slow down, pay attention, and prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming.

This week on Creative Thinking, we’re stepping into The Places of Advent, beginning with the story of Jesus’ birth in Luke 2, and Isaiah’s prophecy of hope in the wilderness.

From the womb, where Christ took on our humanity, to the manger, where His humility was revealed, to the hillside, where the invitation of heaven was first announced; every place points us to the beauty and majesty of God’s redemption.

Show Notes: https://thevillagechapel.com/creativethinking/

This seven-part Advent series of the Creative Thinking podcast will focus on Living Between the Two Advents. The tension of living between Christ’s first and second coming is an opportunity to embrace the beauty and mystery of life while being mindful of the hope that is ever set before us. The challenge of holding onto that hope while navigating the in-between-ness of doubt and faith, the aging of midlife, the longing for transformation like the change of water to wine, and the exhortation of life as more than between ho and hum is the reality of where we are in our world. We explore how faith becomes authentic and transformative when our eyes are set on Jesus’ return. Yet, our feet are firmly planted in today. With gentle encouragement and grounded insight, this series speaks into the lives of those living between the advents with grace, purpose, and expectancy. 

The Village Chapel exists to glorify God through the teaching of His word, through heartfelt worship, and by connecting people with opportunities to live lives of real significance, serving God and their neighbors as a local community of faith.
